,2. QUESTION ONE - CONTEXTUAL QUESTIONNAIRE
Describe the school where you did your practical teaching (location, age,
facilities, how many learners are enrolled at the school, how many teachers
teach at the school, the language of learning and teaching, etc).
Lenarea Secondary School is located at 362 Lenham Drive, in Phoenix.
The school is 37 years in existence.
There are adequate facilities available at the school such as well-ventilated
classrooms, with ceiling fans, office and staff room area, playground for sporting and
exercising activities, art classroom, consumer studies classroom with adequate
equipment for learners and separate restrooms for male and female learners and staff.
There are over 600 students enrolled at the school with approximately 26 teachers
that teach various subjects and grades. The primary language for teaching at the
school is English, except for first additional languages which are Afrikaans and IsiZulu,
teachers use these languages when teaching students and thereafter explain in
English.
The school has a welcoming environment, which is pleasing to new teachers, the staff
and other faculty members are always ready to help whenever they can.
Describe the classroom in which you did your practical teaching (size, facilities,
learning and teaching support materials, classroom atmosphere, and so forth).
I did my teaching practice in a large classroom that was well-ventilated and had
enough of space to walk around.
There was enough of fans to circulate the air in the room, 2 sets of doors and adequate
windows that was all open, covid protocols was in place, students were spaced out in
the class, before entering the classroom was sanitized and as students enter, they
were to sanitize at the door before entering the classroom.
,There was not enough learning and teaching support material (textbooks/study
guides), we used worksheets that was printed by my mentor to carry out the lesson.
The atmosphere in the classroom was comfortable and allowed me to build a rapport
with the students.
Describe the learners you taught during your practical teaching (number per
class, degree of readiness to learn, their home environmental conditions, and
so forth).
I taught a Grade 8 class with 35 learners, aged 13-14. The learners varied in their
readiness to learn, with some being highly motivated and engaged, while others
struggled to focus and participate in class activities. The home environmental
conditions of the learners were challenging, as many came from poverty-stricken
backgrounds with limited access to proper living conditions. Some students walked
long distances to get to school, while others relied on public transportation. Many of
the learners did not bring lunch to school due to financial difficulties at home, which
impacted their ability to concentrate and perform well academically. Overall, the
learners faced significant barriers to their education due to their home environment
and economic circumstances.
Describe your mentor/subject/learning area teacher (knowledge, teaching
experience, helpfulness, guidance, etc)
My teaching mentor is a highly experienced and knowledgeable instructor who has
been teaching for over 20 years. They are well-versed in their subject area and have
a deep understanding of the curriculum and teaching methods. They are always willing
to share their expertise and experience with me, providing valuable guidance and
feedback on my teaching practices.
My mentor is incredibly supportive and helpful, always willing to answer any questions
I may have and provide me with resources and materials to enhance my teaching.
They are patient and understanding, and always take the time to listen to my concerns
and offer constructive advice.
,In the classroom, my mentor is an engaging and dynamic teacher, able to capture the
attention of students and create a positive and inclusive learning environment. They
have a natural ability to connect with students and motivate them to learn and excel in
their studies.
Overall, my teaching mentor is an invaluable resource and role model for me, and I
am grateful for their support and guidance as I continue to grow and develop as an
educator.
, QUESTION 2 - OBSERVING EXPERIENCED TEACHERS
As part of your experience during teaching practice you will be observing
lessons taught by your mentor-teacher and other teachers. This observation
requires you to be actively involved in the process. You need to observe 20
lessons during your teaching practice period. You may observe more than one
teacher in your chosen subject and other subjects in Grades 4-6. Only 5 lessons
will be recorded in detail.
